I'm not sure, Earthwoman, just what your Akitika society would do, but it seems to me kids start running wild when they have nothing more constructive to do, and start following the wrong leaders .... maybe if these men truly cared about the young they could organize some youth activities or sports clubs, teach or involve them in "good works" around the Rez and maybe that would help ? It does help a lot of young people in bad neighborhoods in inner cities .... why wouldn't it work on the Rez, too?

just a thought,
sunny
